Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on Saturday came under a sharp attack from Congress leaders including Mani Shankar Aiyer who compared him with demon king 'Ravana' and also called him 'asatya ka saudagar' (merchant of falsehood). "Modi has engaged a world renowned PR agency and is paying a hefty sum to it to build his image at the cost of tax payers of the state. That is the reason this image of lohpurush (iron man). What lohpurush? he is just a pani purush (man like water)," Congress leader Mani Shakar Aiyer said at a meeting in Porbander.

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi had in the run up to the previous assembly poll in Gujarat had described as "maut ka saudagar" (merchant of death) in the wake of 2002 post-Godhra communal riots.Amid reports in a section of media that Modi would not be fighting assembly elections from Maninagar constituency this time, Aiyer said "why is he not fighting from Maninagar constituency this time"?

BJP MP Vijay Rupani said Congress should mind its own house as it is not getting candidates to fight against Modi from Maninagar seat which he had won last time with a margin of over 75,000 votes. Aiyer said it is time to end the rule of 'Ravana' in the state and asked the people to celebrate "real Diwali" on December 20 (counting day).

Aiyer also termed Modi as "asatya ka saudagar" (merchant of falsehood) accusing him of giving people wrong information about Gujarat. Congress Rajya Sabha MP Hussain Dalwai, speaking at a rally in Palanpur in North Gujarat, said "Modi is just a mouse before Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel".

At the same meeting, Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi said Congress would provide an honest and a young chief minister if the party comes to power in the state.
